Related: over-sized snowflakes are currently sparkling at the River Oaks Shopping Center. I guess that retail sales have been less than strong and they want a jump on the Christmas spending uptick. Makes sense due to the lost month or so of the flooding.

There seems to be an inverse correlation between gain in online retail and commercial Christmas store décor.
Trend analysis would suggest we’ll be seeing Christmas trees the week after Labor Day in 15 years.

YAY! I don’t see why people care about “holiday creep”. If you don’t want to think about Christmas or Thanksgiving or whatever yet – then don’t. But don’t complain and spoil it for those of us that are happy. I just want the pretty decorations and holiday festiveness for as long as possible!!!! Love this time of year!
